RTS/CTS
Threshold
This option determines at what packet length the RTS/CTS function
is triggered. A lower threshold may be necessary in an environment
with excessive signal noise or hidden nodes, but may result in some
performance degradation. (The default value is 1048575.)
Beacon Interval
The value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon in
milliseconds. A beacon is a broadcast packet sent by the ZoneFlex
P300 to synchronize the wireless network. (The default value is 200.)
Data Beacon
Rate (DTIM)
The value indicates the interval of the delivery traffic indication
message (DTIM). This is a countdown field that the device uses to
inform its clients of the next window for listening to broadcast or
multicast messages. (The default value is 1.)
Distance
Manually setting a distance can help operators configure RTS/CTS
thresholds and other wireless settings. Select the approximate
distance (within 1 km) between root bridge and non-root bridges.
NOTE:
Set the root bridge to the distance of the farthest away non-
root bridge (in kilometers). Set non-root bridges to the actual distance
to the root bridge.
